1) Downgrades. Standard & Poor’s stripped France, the euro zone’s second-largest economy, of its top credit rating on Friday, lowering it by one notch to AA+, the same rating the United States has had since the ratings company downgraded its debt in August. Though S&P has not yet issued a formal statement, French Finance Minister Francois Baroin confirmed the downgrade, which leaves Germany as the only major economy in the 17-nation euro zone with an AAA credit rating. A credit downgrade threatens to increase borrowing costs for sovereigns already weighed down by heavy debt loads and stagnating growth. Earlier reports had S&P downgrading Austria as well, but so far, no other downgrades have been confirmed.

2) Trade. The U.S. trade deficit widened in November as an increase in imports weighed on economic growth, Commerce Department data showed on Friday.

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment rose in January, suggesting a stronger consumer spending outlook consistent with the growth in imports. However, as the cooling global economy causes exports to taper off, it will soon have a negative effect on the U.S. recovery.
